KEY RING.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed July 9 1920. Serial No. 395,180.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EMIL BoHM, citizen of the German Republic, residing at Berlin- Karlshorst, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Key Ring, (for which I have filed an application in Germany Mar. 30, 1916,) of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

The known key-rings serving forthe reception of a bunch of keys, have the drawbackthat, when turning one of said keys in its keyhole, the whole key-ring with the remaining bunch of keys must participate in said turning movement, which is rather inconvenient particularly with a large bunch of keys. v

To overcome this drawback, the present invention provides a swivel-connection between the key-ring and each single key, so that the latter can belturned in its-keyhole without the whole key-ring with the remaining bunch of keys participating in said move,-

ment.

The accompanying drawing shows a plan view of the improved key-ring.

a is the key-ring'proper, which is split in a way known in the art for a detachable attachment of a plurality of small rings 0 Patented Apr. 4, 1922.

be attached thereto in a way known in the art.

By these means, each key can be turned I in its keyhole without the whole key-ring" with the remaining bunch of keys participating in said movement.

Obviously, the rings 0 may be omitted, in

which case the swivels g are attached directly to the key-ring a.

What I claim is A key-ring comprising, in combination, a large split-ring, and a plurality of key holding rings having each a sWivel-connection with said split-ring, substantially as- 50 In testimony whereofI afiix my'signature and for the purpose set forth.

in the presence of two witnesses.
